[SOLVED] Counting the total row of a flat file?

[bilis_money]

Yo! 

 

This one is easy, i want to count the total row of a flat file.

 

Let say i have a file called 'myfile.txt'

now inside that text file it has text content rows like below,

 

1. banana  //first row

2. orange

3. papaya

4. grapes

5. lemon    //last row

 

now how do i count the total row of this text file and display the result?

I think i done this before i just lost the script tho. 

 

thanks in advance.

I don't know to be honest, I have something similar which shows a random line from a text file each time...

 

<?php
$textfile ="something.txt";
$items = file("$textfile");
$item = rand(0, sizeof($items)-1);
echo $items[$item]; ?>

 

Perhaps that could help you work out what to do in some way, if it doesn't then sorry.

here is my answer to my own question

 

echo count(file('filename.txt')); 

 

 

problem solved.
